The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More

Review:I've read the book "The wonderful story of Henry Sugar and six more". It's a book containing seven short stories. The longest one is the story about a wonderful person called Henry Sugar, an egoist who whants to change his life and become more like Robin Hood. But in my opinion, the best one is, "The Swan", a great story about a kid who whants to survie from two big persons of the same age. You just can't stop reading it. The whole book was ok, but some stories were very boring, others were supr... Read more

Heart and Brain: An Awkward Yeti Collection

Review:I bought this book after reading some of the author's recent comics on facebook. I was disappointed as these comics were not as funny and engaging. I am very much looking forward to his next book with more recent material, but I would not purchase this again. Read more

and Other Treasures from the Creative Team Behind the Beloved Motion Pictures

Review:This is such a well put together book, I love the keepsakes that are tucked into the pages, like copies of the Cast Calls, the tickets to the premiere's etc. This is a quality book, the avid Twilight fan will eat this up. This will definitely be a collectors item one day.
The photos are beautiful, the content is put together so well. Love it! Read more

Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande
Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande

Review:Every human in America, along with every caregiver and doctor and nurse, every nursing home administrator, and every individual who thinks that no matter the state of the individual whose care they are responsible for, should be required to read this book. What we do to our elderly at the end of their lives is obscene and obviously all about the money, not about their dignity, comfort, wants, needs, or anything else. I wouldn't treat my dog the way most of us treat our terminally ill. And we ... Read more

Anne of Ingleside (Anne of Green Gables, No. 6)
Anne of Ingleside (Anne of Green Gables, No. 6)

Review:Translated by a computer? Horrible. Checked Russian and German translations of same book by same company. Again, computer? Missing prepositions, tenses all out of whack. A first year student could have done better. The translating company's website doesn't exist. The scary part is the publishing company seems to be under the auspices of Amazon. Sad days. These books are flooding the market. Read more

Woodsong
Woodsong

Review:After reading Gary Paulsen's Winterdance, I had to try this one. I teach 5th grade, so I thought Woodsong might be more geared toward them. I'm still reluctant to use this except in small groups...the depiction of nature's brutality with all the graphic detail, will be a little too intense for some of my students...only balanced by an adult's perspective (putting it into context).
Setting aside that one word of caution, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Like one of his dogs, once I was har... Read more

humorous epic fantasy / science fiction adventure (The Universe Builders Book 1)

Review:What a delightful read! The story of Bernie's struggles are so heartwarming, you feel yourself empathizing with a God. Now this is a far cry from our feelings of the Zeus type Gods. I love the way the story starts out as a simple story of a struggling young God trying to follow in the steps of his famous father without the help of said father. You feel Bernie's character developing as you follow along all of his mistakes and you can't help but admire him for standing for what he believes in. Ev... Read more

Brian's Winter (Brian's Saga Book 3)

Review:In Gary Paulsen's novel "Hatchet" Brian Robeson is stranded in the wild and rescued after 54 amazing days.
But what if he hadn't been rescued? What if his luck hadn't held. What if he had t face his deadliest enemy - WINTER? In "Brian's Winter" those aspects of Brian's adventure are explored. He suffers from lack of clothing, hunger (once more), numerous animal encounters (not all pleasant), a battle with a wild animal and much more.
This is a very interesting and exciting book. ... Read more

Review:I love Neil Gaiman, which is why I gave it a high rating. I know it will be a good book-but I haven't read it yet! I have ordered SO many books through Amazon that I can't keep up! This one will be the next one, I'm almost done with the book I'm reading now-and I still have more coming! gbg Read more

The Cellar
The Cellar

Review:I became emotionally involved with this masterpiece! I cried, I felt relief, I got mad. I could vividly imagine the characters and their experiences, their surroundings. It was like I was there. This book was very well written in the format that it was. Absolutely will be seeking out more of Natasha Preston's work. This book 'The Cellar,' was my first and I highly enjoyed it, it is an absolute must read! 5 stars ***** Read more
